Left-handed talk
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.About 10 per cent of the school population is believed to be left- handed. They can encounter problems at school, because they often have needs that are difficult to meet.
Diane Paul, an author of books on left-handedness, is offering workshops and lectures on their needs to teachers, teacher trainers and professionals working with special-needs children. Nearly one in three special-needs children is left-handed or ambiguous in the use of his or her hands.
Prices start at pounds 50 for a 30-minute illustrated talk, at which right- handers can get to grips with the problems faced by left-handers. Bookings through Anne Gregory at the Centre for Left-handed Studies (0161 445 0159).
